Details of Disappearance

Hurst was last seen at approximately 1:20 a.m. on August 6, 2003 in the vicinity of the 700 block of north 7th Street in Kansas City, Kansas. She had been jailed on a drug charge and disappeared a short time after her release. She has never been heard from again.

Hurst's family was initially unconcerned by her absence because they thought she was in a thirty-day inpatient drug rehabilitation program. When the thirty days passed they didn't hear from her, they reported her missing.

She was involved in drugs and prostitution at the time of her disappearance, and associated with a drug dealer in Wichita, Kansas. The drug dealer denies any knowledge of her disappearance. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
